AUSTRALIAN CERAPACHYINI. 233 



punctate. Epinotal declivity shining, very finely and transversely 

 shagreened. 



Hairs grayish yellow, abundant and rather long, in part suberect, 

 both on the body and appendages, and in part appressed, the latter 

 appearing on the appendages as long pubescence. 



Black; tarsi, articulations of legs, antennal funiculi, mandibles, 

 clypeus, frontal carin?e, cheeks and pygidium reddish. 



Queensland: Mackay, type-locality (Gilbert Turner); Kuranda 

 (Rowland Turner and F. P. Dodd). 



I have redescribed this species from four specimens from Kuranda, 

 two received from Prof. Forel and taken by Rowland Turner and two 

 taken by F. P. Dodd and belonging to the Museum of South Australia. 



E. turner i is readily recognized by its large size, black color, the 

 presence of eyes and the emarginate pygidium.

Worker. Length 4. .5-5. 5 mm. 



Head nearly square when seen from above, scarcely longer than 

 broad, as broad in front as behind, with feebly rounded sides, deeply 

 excavated posterior border and sharp posterior corners. Margina- 

 tion of posterior border and corners continued forward on each side 

 of the gula fully f the length of the head. Mandibles strongly flexed 

 inward at the base, with distinctly concave external border, the 

 apical border denticulate and passing through a curve into the basal 

 border. Clypeus very short, its anterior border broadly rounded. 

 Frontal carin?e very short, erect, small, approximated, fused and 

 strongly truncated behind and curving around the antennal insertions 

 in front. Antennal fovese confluent behind the frontal carinee. 

 Cheeks with small, indistinct carinse, which border the antennal 

 insertions on the sides. Antennae short and stout; scapes about 

 half as long as the head, thickened towards their tips; funicular joints 

 1-9 short, very distinctly broader than long, tenth joint as broad as 

 long, terminal joint fully as long as the three preceding joints together. 

 Thorax subrectangular, fully twice as long as broad, as broad through
